Red  Gum 

Illustrations  in  this  booklet  will  show  the  effects  produced  by  the  different  methods  of  manufac¬ 
turing  Ked  Gum,  and  terms  are  given  wdiich,  when  used  in  specifying  individual  requirements, 
should  avoid  misunderstanding  and  confusion. 

lied  Gum  has  become  a  leading  cabinet  wood  because  of  its  beauty,  adaptability  and  fine 
workable  qualities.  Selections  of  lumber  or  veneer  may  be  made  to  meet  special  requirements, 
either  of  highly  figured  wood  or  plain  wood,  quarter-sawed  or  plain  sawed.  Veneer  is  also  man¬ 
ufactured  in  sliced  and  rotary  cut. 

The  members  of  the  Gum  lunnber  INIanufacturers’  Association  have  made  a  careful  study 
of  the  best  methods  of  manufacturing  and  caring  for  Gum  Lumber  and  veneer,  therefore  afford¬ 
ing  a  reliable  source  of  supply. 

Lxperience  has  taught  dry  kiln  men  how  to  handle  it  through  the  dry  kiln  satisfactorily, 
and  as  a  result  no  more  difficulty  is  had  in  kiln  drying  Red  Gum  than  any  of  the  other  fine  cabi¬ 
net  woods.  There  is  no  cabinet  wood  more  attractive  than  Red  Gum  and  it  has  honestly  won 
the  title  of  “AJ^IERICA’S  FINEST  CABINET  WOOD”  through  its  exploitation  by  the 
Gum  Lumber  iManufacturers’  Association.

FIGURE  IN  RED  GUM 


Tlie  Red  Gum  tree  produces  both  sap  wood  and  heart  wood.  Commercially  the  term  “Red 
Gum”  applies  to  the  heart  wood  of  the  Red  Gum  tree.  Unselected  Gum  or  Sap  Gum  may  he 
partially  heart  wood  and  partially  sap  wood,  or  all  sap  wood. 

Some  Red  Gum  trees  produce  what  is  termed  “Figured  Red  Gum.”  The  figure  in  Red 
(turn  is  fupdamentally  different  from  the  characteristic  figures  of  Oak  and  many  other  vvoods. 
Oak’s  figure  in  quarter-sawed  stock  is  due  to  the  meduliary  rays  with  certain  modifications  hj 
rings  of^annual  growth.  The  figures  of  Plain  Oak  and  Chestnut,  for  example,  are  due  almost 
wholly  to  the  rings  of  growth.  Gum’s  figure  is  due  to  neither.  The  shades  and  tones  cross  the 
rino's  in  every  direction,  though  they  sometimes  follow  them  with  some  regularity,  and  medullary 
ray^  have  practically  no  visible  effect.  The  colors  ramify  through  the  wood,  obeying  no  known 
law  of  growth  or  deposit  of  earthy  matter. 

It  is  in  this  that  Red  Gum’s  figure  resembles  that  of  Circassian  Walnut.  ^  The  latter,  how¬ 
ever,  has  a  feature  generally  absent  from  Gum.  It  is  a  modification  of  the  figure,  due  to  the 
ring’s  of  yearly  growth.  The  deposits  of  the  pigments  in  the  two  woods  appear  to  he  much  the 

same.  i  •  • 

It  is  hard  to  explain  why  some  trees  are  figured  and  many  are  not,  although  it  is  quite  cer¬ 
tain  that  the  figure  in  Red  Gum  is  influenced  by  the  soil  and  situation ;  and  it  will  he  seen  that 
figured  Red  Gum  logs  produce  figured  lumber  either  by  quarter-sawing  or  plain  sawing.

Xo.  1 — Illustrates  plain  sawed  Red  Gum, 
fi^’ured  wood  (sometimes  called  “JMottled 
Red  Gum”).  Plain  sawed  Red  Gum,  fig¬ 
ured  wood,  shows  a  great  variety  of  stripes 
and  color  tones,  and  is  in  demand  for  special 
cabinet  work  of  all  kinds.  IVhen  plain 
sawed  figured  wood  is  desired  it  should 
he  specified  as  “Plain  Sawed  Red  Gum, 
ho-ured  wood.”  It  will  he  noticed  hy  com- 
parison  with  Panel  X^o.  5  that  figured  Red 
Ciuin  logs  produce  figured  lumber,  either  hy 
plain  sawing  or  quarter  sawing.  See  article, 
“Eigure  in  Red  Gum,”  ])age  3. 


X^o.  2 — Shows  plain  sawed  Red  Gum,  plain 
wood  (commonly  termed  Plain  Red  Gum, 
but  when  plain  sawed  plain  wood  is  desired 
it  should  be  specified  as  “Plain  Sawed  Red 
Gum,  plain  wood”) .  This  is  a  fine  example 
of  plain  sawed  Red  Gum,  plain  wood,  as  it 
runs  by  the  car  load.  However,  all  plain 
sawed  Red  Gum,  plain  wood,  is  not  per¬ 
fectly  ])lain,  as  most  all  Red  Gum  shows 
some  stripe  effects  and  color  tones.  Its  char¬ 
acter  is  soft  and  delicate,  and  finished  nat¬ 
ural  or  stained,  is  very  pleasing  and  attrac¬ 
tive.  IMillions  of  feet  are  used,  both  in  this 
country  and  abroad,  for  interior  finish,  fur¬ 
niture,  etc.

No.  3 — This  is  a  fine  example  of  a  panel  of 
rotary  cut  Red  Gum  veneer,  figured  wood. 
Selections  may  be  made  in  rotary  cut  veneer 
either  in  figured  wood  or  plain  wood.  Un¬ 
selected  or  Sap  Gum  is  also  manufactured 
hy  this  process.  One-third  of  the  veneers 
manufactured  from  domestic  woods  are 
made  from  Red  Gum  logs.  It  is  used  tor  a 
great  variety  of  purposes  and  is  the  ideal 
veneer  wood,  for  the  reason  that  it  works 
easily,  without  waste,  and  takes  and  holds 
p’lue  better  than  most  other  woods. 


No.  4 — Illustrates  a  Sap  Gum  Board,  plain 
sawed.  Sap  Gum  is  sometimes  called  “Un¬ 
selected  Gum.”  Unselected  Gum,  or  Sap 
Gum,  may  be  partially  heart  wood  and  par¬ 
tially  Sap  wood,  or  all  Sap  wood.  Sap  Gum 
lias  a  close  grain  and  finishes  pertectly 
smooth.  It  is  free  from  resinous  matter  and 
is  the  best  wood  for  enamel  finishes,  as  well 
as  for  a  great  variety  of  other  purposes. 


note _ Red  Gum  logs  are  also  quarter-sawed,  leaving  both  the  heart  wood  and  Sap  wood  in  the  boards,  for  the  reason 

that  some  users  prefer  quarter-sawed  lumber  to  plain  sawed  lumber.  Gumwood  manutactured  in  this  manner  is  terme 
“Quartered  Red  Gum,  Sap  no  defect.”

No.  5 — Illustrates  quarter-sawed  Red  Gum, 
figured  wood.  This  is  a  typical  example  of 
quarter-sawed  Red  Gum  from  a  figured  log. 
(See  article,  “Figure  in  Red  Gum,”  page 
d.)  Note  the  richness  of  stripes  and  color 
tones  peculiar  to  this  method  of  manufac¬ 
ture.  It  is  used  in  the  best  lines  of  furni¬ 
ture  and  in  artistic  achitectural  woodwork 
of  all  kinds.  The  demand  for  Red  Gum 
finished  natural  is  increasing  rapidly,  but 
any  of  the  popular  brown  shades  or  walnuts, 
as  well  as  many  other  colors,  may  be  applied 
with  splendid  results.  Specify  quarter- 
sawed  Red  Gum,  figured  wood. 


N  o.  6 — Illustrates  quarter-sawed  Red  Gum, 
plain  wood.  There  is  a  marked  similarity  in 
all  plain  wood  quarter-sawed,  although  there 
is  some  variation  in  stripes  and  color  tones 
which  (excepting  the  difference  in  color) 
closely  resembles  JMahogany.  Finished  nat¬ 
ural  or  stained,  it  is  very  pleasing  and  attrac¬ 
tive.  It  is  the  very  best  selection  for  IMahog- 
any  finish.  The  stain  is  not  applied  suffi¬ 
ciently  heavy  to  obliterate,  but  just  enough 
to  leave  plainly  visible  the  beautiful  grain  of 
the  wood.  Specify,  quarter-sawed  Red 
Gum,  plain  wood.

veneer,  figured  wood,  matched.  All  Red 
Gum,  whether  figured  wood  or  plain  wood, 
quarter-sawed  or  plain  sawed,  has  a  rich,

and  selections  of  flitches  may  be  made  to 
meet  the  individual  taste  of  the  designor. 
It  has  the  combined  beauty  of  Circassian 
Walnut  and  Mahogany,  yet  has  a  distinc¬

CARE  OF  HARDWOOD  DOORS  AND  TRIM 

All  woods  are  porous,  and  the  drier  and  more  thoroughly  seasoned  they  are,  the  more  readily  they 
absorb  moisture  and  are  affected  by  atmospheric  conditions.  When  unfinished  hardwood  doors 
and  trim  are  placed  in  a  damp  room  they  quickly  absorb  the  moisture  in  the  air,  which  causes 
expansion  or  swelling,  and  when  they  return  to  normal  (that  is,  when  the  moisture  is  again 
dried  out)  they  are  liable  to  warp  and  open  at  the  joints,  and  it  takes  much  time  and  labor  to 
repair  the  damage.  This  can  easily  he  avoided  if  only  a  little  care  is  exercised. 

In  the  first  place,  as  soon  as  hardwood  doors  and  trim  are  received,  have  a  finisher  give  them 
one  coat  of  filler,  shellac  or  stain,  as  the  case  may  require.  The  reason  for  this  is  that  nearly  all 
doors  and  trim  are  shipped  “in  the  white,”  and  all  of  the  pores  of  the  wood  are  open  and  ready  to 
absorb  moisture  unless  protected. 

Do  not  hang  doors  or  put  on  trim  in  a  damp,  freshly-plastered  building.  All  hardwood 
finish  should  be  back-painted  with  one  heavy  coat  of  asphaltum  stain  or  lead  and  oil.  This  is  to 
prevent  absorption  of  moisture  from  the  plaster.  Mortar  contains  large  quantities  of  water,  and 
until  the  moisture  is  dried  out  of  the  walls  the  house  is  not  in  the  right  condition  to  receive  hard¬ 
wood  doors,  or  any  other  fine  woodwork  which  is  quickly  affected  by  such  condition.  Wood  that 
is  not  hack-painted  is  simply  protected  on  one  side  and  allows  the  moisture  to  come  in  on  the  other. 

The  manufacturer  should  not  be  censured  nor  the  wood  condemned  if  the  product,  upon 
which  every  care  is  exercised  in  the  making,  is  not  handled  properly  upon  arrival  at  destination. 
Leading  architects  are  specifying  and  insisting  that  heat  first  he  turned  on,  so  as  to  dry  out  the 
building  thoroughly  before  hanging  hardwood  doors  or  putting  on  trim.  If  these  hints  and  sug¬ 
gestions  are  carried  out  no  trouble  will  be  experienced.

I  an  in  receipt  of  your  letter  of  the  3rd.  I  have  no 
photograph  of  oy  new  residenoe,  although  it  has  been  completed 
for  two  months.  I  was  of  the  opinion  I  woultV  wait  until  later  in 
the  season  when  the  foliage  would  be  more  fully  matured. 

As  I  stated  to  you  when  in  Chicago,  I  was  a  little  fear¬ 
ful  of  the  results  if  I  would  use  Rod  Gum,  but  I  liked  the  appear¬ 
ance  of  the  lumber  so  much  I  decided-  to  try  it,  and  I  assure'  you 
that  so  far  the  results  have  been  moat  satisfactory.  My  ballroom 
appro'ximatoly  35  x  75  la  entirely  finished  in  Red  Gum  with  panels 
around  the  aides,  there  are  carvings,  also  8  pairs  of  French  doors 
and  several  single  doors,  all  of  Red  Gum.  The  panels  were  selected 
for  grain  and  the  wood  finished  a  French  walnut  color,  and  it  is  a 
very  beautiful  picture .  The  hall  on  the  second  floor  is  the  same 
finish  and  wood;  there  are  also  several  bedrooms  finished  in  Red 
Gum,  with  figured  panels  natural  finish,  and  I  really  like  the 
natural  finish  better.  The  downstairs  hall  is  French  walnut,  and 
the  carved  balustrade  for  the  marble  stairs  running  from  the  first 
to  second  story  hall  is  a  very  heavy  design,  and  it  was  difficult 
to  get  French  wr.lnut  of  sufficiently  good  quality,  and  we  had  this 
entire  balustrade  made  of  Red  Gum,  with  about  ^2,000  worth  of 
oarving  on  it,  and  it  was  made  tip  of  glued  up  pieces,  and  the  entire 
proposition  has  stood  the  test  of  the  most  severe  Summer  I  have 
ever  experienced  in  Detroit.  There  were  only  five  days  during  the 
month  of  July  that  it  did  not  rain  here,  and  I  believe  the  same 
proposition  would  govern  the  past  three  months. 

I  used  ell  quarter  sawed  Red  Gum,  and  I  would  be  pleased 
to  show  you  or  your  representative  my  house  at  any  time.

for  five  or  six  years  end  by  studying  the  traits  of  the 
wcod  hove  obtained  some  wonderful  results.  I  usually 
specify  that  It  shall  be  quarter  sowed,  carefully  dried 
end  brought  to  the  building  after  the  plaster  is  thorough¬

the  finish  Is  being  put  up.  The  gum  wood  that  I  used  in 
my  own  house  was  finished^ to  Imitate  Circassian  walnut.  The 
hall  was  wainscoted  to  the  ceiling  and  it  has  stood  up  as 
well  as  oak  finish.

comment  by  all  who  have  seen  them  that  I  believe  it 
only  a  question  of  time  when  my  clients  will  demand 
.this  material  for  their  work. 

One:  The  National  Branch  Bank  of  Kentucky, 
Reception  Room,  Directors  Room  and  Banking  room,  all  the 
'walls*  ceiling,  counters,  fixtures,  and  furniture  ef 
all  kinds,  were  made  of  Red  Gum  to  details.  The  Bankers 
Journal  of  Cleveland,  Ohio,  pronounces  this  Job  the 
finest  of  its  kind  in  the  State. 

The  other  piece  a  residence  for  T.J.  Brislan, 
Esq.,  all  the  lower  floor  trim  of  Red  Cun.  some  stained 
and  some  left  natural  finish.  I  consider  Red  Gum. 

Natural  Finish,  the  Peer  of  all  woods  for  interior  finish.
